Aggregated from residential listings we track in Mount Lawley, not from Valuer-General settled transfers. It is a different measure on a much smaller sample, so it is not comparable with the median house prices shown for NSW, Victoria and South Australia suburbs, and Mount Lawley is not ranked on it.

Shares are the proportion of the suburb's land area. Land where Landsat saw water in at least 1% of clear passes since 1987, excluding permanent water and filtered by DEA's confidence layer. Satellites miss flood peaks, so this is a floor, not a risk estimate; dense high-rise cores can still register tower shadow as water. Elevation is orthometric height from a 30 m model; no hydrology or drainage is modelled. No open statutory flood or bushfire layer is published for Western Australia yet.
